Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religion: a cultural glue of mythic tradition, the adhesive strength of which relies on the claim that it is "above" reason, and exempt from rational analysis. (Observation# 638) |

If there is a separation of Church and State in the United States, then why must we have to swear an oath to the bible if we testify in court? Why does money have the inscription "In God We Trust" Why are Christians trying to deny the LGBT community from having equal rights? If the Constitution does not does not have an amendment banning "gay marriage", why do we need laws allowing them to marry? If there was no specific verbiage against abortion, why did the Supreme Court have to decree it as legal? The short answer: RELIGION. |

If the evidence revealed in the Boston Globe about the Archdiocese of Boston regarding child molestation, hiding evidence, and shaming the victims from coming forward doesn't convince people that religion is bullshit, then nothing will. I didn't realize that our children were expendable. |

God
God, the supposed supreme being of various religions. Religions that have been invented by those in a position of authority to control the masses. God is not dead, he just never existed. People that believe in God are as aberrated as women who believe they have been abducted by aliens.
World peace will only come when religion ends. |

When you give credence to the claim that Muhammad received divine revelation from God what you are saying is that a raping, murdering, slave-owning warlord could not possibly be a liar as well. |

I know why god doesn't do divine interventions, it's too busy pulling wood splinters out of it's only begotten sons arse. |

I long for the days when men turn away from invisible monsters and once more embrace a more rational view of the world. But these new religions are so convenient and promise such terrible punishments should one reject them, I worry that fear shall keep us stuck to what is surely the greatest lie ever told.
Altair, Assassin's Creed. |

Rich Williamson |
When the imaginary god reveals himself in the form of a potato chip, that's his way of telling his followers that religion is idiotic |
|
Periyar EVR |
Following superstitious beliefs, without rational thinking, has ushered in the condition of the worker becoming the vassal, and the sluggard becoming the lord. |
|
|
Periyar EVR |
Man possesses reason. It is given to him for enquiry, not for blind animalism. It is by abusing reason that man has brought himself into a lot of troubles. He has created God, as an antidote to his troubles. |
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
I firmly believe that religious belief is for the weak and for the weak minded. It's akin to the infant's comfort blanket and pacifier (dummy, for those native to the UK).
Try to remove either and watch them throw tantrums or burst into tears. |

We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
God had nothing to do with what happens to us and the Earth. MAN created GOD, and in his own image, too.
One has to understand that MAN came along LONG before GOD just as sure as the universe was created a long time before the Sun and Earth. About ten billion years before, give or take.
And our Earth was here along with our sun about four and a half billion years before MAN evolved enough to feel a necessity to create gods. Any day soon MANKIND will have evolved enough to admit it made a huge mistake. |

Nothing can be more fragile than when it's purely of the imagination.
Just as dreams - if not immediately broken on waking - fade like vampires in the light of day. |

Bob Allen |
Nature provides proof that it creates and recreates itself, not that a human-like persona or other type of God is required to create it. |

Francis Bede |
Religion is that vast fiction which has had too many writers and not enough critics - Capsicum the 49th, 4th Ruler of The Green Planet |
|
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
Might it be best if we atheists organized our own propagandist movement, just like the theists have had for millennia?
Just remember: If a lie is told often enough and loud enough it is eventually accepted as the truth. |

Francis Bede |
The Liberal Asshole’s Prayer
That martyr who lived on earth
Exploited be his name
His kingdom never was
YOUR will is to be done
On earth, as there is no heaven.
Help those in need with their daily bread
As it is, here and now
And fear not your weaknesses
Examine those who seek trespass against you
May you know your own temptations
And judge yourself your deeds
And reflect on those gone wrong.

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
All societies create, adopt, or adapt religions. This suggests the usefulness -- not the truthfulness -- of religions. (Observation # 521) |
|
|
Dr. Idel Dreimer |
Religion is like an inefficient kaleidoscope: in order to present a pretty pattern -- many awkward bits of reality have to be left out. (Observation # 536) |

Evil is most ruthless and untroubled when it has divine permission and holy sanction. (Observation #531)

What a great designer chappie is God. He designs 17 species of penguin, 3,000 species of mosquito, 30,000 species of spider and almost a million species of insect. And yet only two or three species of Man.
So maybe insects are God's master race. |

If you have toxic emotions of fear, guilt and depression, it is because you have wrong thinking, and you have wrong thinking because of wrong believing - Joseph Prince

"JESUS CHRIST- Who, as it turns out, was born of a virgin, cheated death, and rose boldly into the heavens - can now be eaten in the form of a CRACKER." Sam Harris. |

Sabir Ayaz |
Religions can be classified as MAN-made for one simple reason, that they always somehow tend to hate on women.
Not a single woman prophet?
While women are viewed as inherently dirty and sinful from birth.
Such degrading ideas lacking in intelligence could only come from men, not any superior being. |

People always get offended because i don't respect another's religious beliefs.
Well i don't have to respect a pack of lies...and if they still say that am rude and arrogant... i think that's their own problem |

A god is only as existent as its followers. Remove the followers and the god no longer exists. That fact alone should prove the impotency of gods. |

Enoch Author (admin) |
Christ is not God, not the saviour of the world, but a mere man, a sinful man and an abominable idol. All who worship him are abominable idolaters and Christ did not rise again from death to life nor did he ascend into heaven. ― Matthew Hammond |

Heresy is a cradle; orthodoxy, a coffin ― Robert G. Ingersoll |

Cop-out excuses and catch-phrase dismissals can only work so long before the holes in the religious argument cannot be ignored any longer.

It's always beat me how theists will put 100% trust in what some ignorant goat herder supposedly said some thousands of years ago while choosing to ignore what is said today by much more knowing people. |

Atheism is a religion like transparent is a color. |

Never mind the old Chicken and Egg conundrum. Which came first, Man or Gods? |
|
|
Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
So Man created Godkind in his own image; in his own image Man created them; he created them male and he created them female.
Man saw that it was good and then Man rested. |

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
Despite me being a 100% dyed in the wool atheist, I still believe that gods exist. But only in the mind. |
|

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin) |
I will believe in God, once I'm presented with the overwhelming evidence supporting the theory of creation. |
|

Dr. Idel Dreimer |
The human mind, too divine for death, flatters itself with expectations of immortality. |

The next time someone says “I’ll pray for youâ€, respond by saying “And I shall seek the great wizard Gandalf about assisting you.†Then promptly take a pic of their facial expression! |

My challenge to all the world's theologians is this; For the sake of humanity, get your story straight! Until you can get everyone on the same page, and provide some testable evidence for your claims, you need to butt out of human affairs. Come back when you've reached agreement, and not a minute sooner. |

Matthew 19:26 New King James Version (NKJV)
But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.â€
Yes, such as being excessively petty, unjust, an unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; and a misogynistic, homophobic racist!

Are we destined to be born again after death? Well, as I see it, we MAY be born again.
The thing is we will never be born to be exactly the same as we were born our lifetime ago.
We may even be born something Non-human. Even something Non-organic.
You might be living your next life as a haemorrhoid on a pastor's bottom or grain of sand on bottom of the deepest ocean.
Whatever. Congratulations on your future new existence. |

One of my favorite quotes given repeatedly by pastors:
“Sometimes it may seem like god isn’t answering your prayers, but he’s always working behind the scenes.â€
Of course the real reason is that non-existent mythical gods cannot grant wishes in the first place!

Christianity = Love
When you ignore actual history (Inquisition, Crusades) and cherry pick your favorite gems from the Bible while turning a blind eye to its misogyny, racism, and other reprehensible teachings.
